Vehicle Description
Here's a classic that's sure to bring a smile to your face. This
1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS is a great looking muscle car that's had
the good fortune to maintain its numbers matching configuration
over the past half-century and features that ultra-appealing Rally
Sport appearance that drew crowds at Chevy showrooms across the
nation during its era. It's running strong and retains its original
interior, where you'll find the original owner's manual tucked
neatly away inside the glove box to provide some historical
perspective.
The exterior now wears striking Frost Green Bolero paint that's
been properly decked out with the white RS stripe circling the nose
of the car. The shade graced quite a few classic Camaros back in
the day and since it was an option on the Chevy color chart during
this era, it equips this one with a thoroughly authentic
appearance. The color is a great match for this classic as it
stands and a comprehensive detail will really bring out its best.
The front grille houses the signature hideaway headlights that were
one of the primary attractions of the RS appearance package and the
overall exterior alignment is in good order - check out just how
well the hood matches up with the fenders to either side and how
tight and even the gaps around the doors and deck lid are. The
exterior fittings throughout also present well - both the front and
rear bumpers are in fine shape, as is most of the body trim - and
the added aftermarket wheels provide a tasteful touch of
customization to the largely factory style this Chevy proudly
wears.
You'll find an appealing gold interior just inside the doors - the
very same one that was on board as this Camaro first hopped off the
assembly line. Considering it has yet to have seen the inside of an
upholstery shop, the overall condition of this driving environment
is pretty darned impressive. Both the front buckets and rear
fold-down bench seat have held their form well, as has the factory
center console, which houses a signature horseshoe shifter. The
matching carpet lining the floor still has plenty of life left in
it and while the headliner isn't quite as fresh, there's a new one
included with the car. The dash area features factory gauges in its
cluster that still function as intended, along with a contrasting
dash pad that's free of any splitting. At the center, an
aftermarket AM/FM radio has been added to provide your audio
backdrop while on the road.
The engine compartment remains in its natural state. Everything
beneath the hood is orderly and from all appearances the 327 cubic
inch V8 at the center - almost certainly the same motor this Camaro
drove off the showroom floor with - has never left the car. Despite
its survivor status, something it shares with many other components
on this classic, the small block is running nicely, fed by a
factory 2-barrel carb and teaming with a period correct 2-speed
Powerglide transmission to make for a solid vintage drivetrain.
Power steering makes navigation easy, as this iconic muscle car
cruises the asphalt on its set of 15" Cragar SS wheels outfitted
with BF Goodrich T/A radials that appear to have plenty of tread
remaining. Below, the undercarriage has come through the years in
strong fashion - you'll see some of the expected patina but the
foundation this Chevy rides on is straight and sturdy.
With its combination of road-readiness and impressive originality,
this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS presents a very compelling
opportunity. Call today!
